Cuomo’s New Opponent: Trump

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is facing activist and actress Cynthia Nixon in New York’s Democratic primary next month. But in public appearances the governor is focusing on a different rival: President Trump.

“We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” “You heard it. Gasps in the audience. And now President Trump is firing back.” “Proven leader. Real results for New York.” “I allowed an hour and a half for what should have been a 30-minute ride. Cuomo’s MTA.” “I’m hoping that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Billy Joel don’t get into the race. If it’s just about name recognition. That would really be a problem.” “Yes, Mother Nature brought Hurricane Maria to the island. But it’s father Trump who aggravated the damage and continues the damage.” “When do you want to go back to, Mr. President? Before the environmental protection movement? Before marriage equality? Before these new immigrants started to come across the border? That’s when America was great in his head.”
